Timbaland joins Roc Nation

Jay-Z continues to make power moves and his latest one includes his old friend, Timbaland. The super-producer has officially signed with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation for management.

The announcement was made on Jay-Z’s Life + Times website. 'Roc Nation welcomes TIMBALAND to the family,' read the message.

Roc Nation represents some of the biggest stars in music including Rihanna, J. Cole, M.I.A., and Shakira.

Timbaland, who is still signed as an artist to Interscope Records, is currently in the studio working on Justin Timberlake’s comeback album 'The 20/20 Experience' as well as Keri Hilson’s third album.

He recently partnered with 50 Cent on his SMS Audio headphones line. As part of the deal, Timbaland will serve as an investment partner and member of the company’s board of directors.

This can only mean more independence for Timbaland and even better music production.
